00:00All right, let's go to Churchill Downs and get your takeaway on this.
00:03First of the stakes races, obviously Triple Crown.
00:06Is there, first and foremost, a dominant horse in this field?
00:10Who do you like, and is there that one horse to beat, say, like an American Pharoah?
00:16Yeah, I don't know if there's that, Dan.
00:18I think there's a few good horses.
00:19Renegade is obviously, when you look at pedigree, he's probably the best horse in the race at 4-1.
00:24But he draws the one hole.
00:26That is a very, very dangerous position in the Kentucky Derby with 20 horses.
00:30He's got to get out there.
00:31It's got to be clean.
00:32That's the thing.
00:32I'm looking at connections.
00:34And, Dan, you know, you're your Miami Hurricane.
00:36We talk about things that have happened in the past relating to now.
00:40And winning the Florida Derby has always been a good start.
00:43Commandment, the six.
00:44I really like this horse a lot.
00:45That's the horse I'm going to bet to win.
00:48Luis Saez gets the ride.
00:49A very experienced jockey.
00:50And Brad Cox is a great trainer.
00:53Also, connections that I looked for before.
00:55Sovereignty won last year.
00:57Junior Alvarado was the jockey.
00:58He's my favorite jockey.
00:59A great guy.
01:00And God rest Brian Blessing's soul.
01:02Buffalo Sabres fan to the max.
01:03He taught me about horse racing.
01:05And he told me a thing a long time ago.
01:07When Bill Mott and Junior Alvarado get together in a big race, bet it.
01:10That's the number 12.
01:11Chief Wallaby.
01:12He's going to be in all my exotics.
01:14I think that horse is really dangerous.
01:15And if you're looking for a pooch, Emerging Market is a very interesting horse.
01:19The 15.
01:20Good times.
01:21And also, Flavian Pratt is a good jockey.
01:23And we all know Chad Brown's a great trainer.
01:25So, guys, if you're looking for a little bit of a, you know, a price in this race, look for
01:29the 15.
01:29But the one-horse Renegade, if he gets off well, he's going to be dangerous.
01:32But I like the Six Commandment, Dan.
01:34And what else were we talking about?
01:37There was that, oh, yeah, Dan and Bourbon.
01:39It sounds like a yogurt mixed with an alcoholic beverage.
01:41He's the Japanese horse.
01:43Watch out for him.
01:44He's been crushing everybody in Asia.
01:45But it's a different beast.
01:47When you go into the Kentucky Derby, I've got to tell you, too, Dan, there's too many horses that run
01:51in this race.
01:52Like, by no stretch of the imagination, I'm just like, can't we just knock it down a little bit?
01:56It gets kind of wonky.
01:57And that's when weird things happen.
01:59Most horse races, you know, a big field is like 12.
02:01We've got a million horses here.
02:02And I just wish there would be maybe, can we even knock it down to 16 instead of what it
02:06is?
02:07It's just too many horses, in my opinion.
02:08I know a lot of people don't have that take.
